Home buying seminar for veterans set in Franklin

FRANKLIN -- A VA Home Loan Benefits home buying seminar for veterans and their spouses is planned on Tuesday, Sept. 19, 6:30-8 p.m., at the Franklin VFW, 1034 Pond St., Franklin.

Participants can can register online at Eventbrite.com or call or text to 508-479- 2106. The event is organized by Jean Curley, a realtor and advisor at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, along with senior mortgage loan officer of Province Mortgage, Angela Moon.

Only 5 percent of veterans in Massachusetts, the lowest number in the country, utilize their well deserved VA Home Loan benefits. Many are not aware they have these benefits. The VA Home Loan Guarantee Program was established in 1944 and was created to provide those who served the country with a simple and streamlined path to home ownership in the wake of the war.

As a realtor with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Franklin, Curley attended a continuing education class about this life changing benefit and was stunned to learn of the large numbers of veterans who are missing out.

Many veterans do not know of the significant financial benefits of the VA Home Loan Guarantee Program. Qualified buyers can buy a home with no money down with flexible requirements.

“Most people don’t realize, especially younger people and first time home buyers, what a benefit is,” said Scott Dow, a former Coast Guard officer and Reservist who has purchased two homes using his VA benefit. “I would not have been able to purchase a home without a VA loan.”
